What has been called “the finest estate in America” is now back on the market after being originally listed at $135 million. It’s in Dallas, next door to the George Bush‘s place, unfortunately – Hicks lets the former POTUS use his helipad. In the ultra-snooty Preston Hollow, it includes the 27,092-square-foot main house with 10 bedrooms and 12 full bathrooms, the 3,347-square-foot guest house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and three-story, a 4,836-square-foot pool house that includes a game room, country club-sized pool and a 20-person movie theater for a combined total of over 35,000 square feet. Check out the art deco bar, the chicest room in the house, I think. Listing agent Allie Beth Allman says;
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a new buyer — only the third owner in 77 years — to acquire this magnificent property.”
It was built in 1938 by architect Maurice Fatio for Italian Count Pio Crespi and his wife, Florence who lived in the house until she was 99. It was bought by Tom Hicks and his wife in the 90s and renovated and updated in 2003 (at a reported $100 million!) by architect to the rich and famous (and leather queen) Peter Marino. All this luxury is set on 25 acres in the middle of Dallas. It can be yours for $100 million. But seriously, if you’re not a Republican, don’t bother…
